FDJ UNITED joins the coalition for responsible and ambitious use of carbon credits

At the ChangeNOW Summit and to mark the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, FDJ UNITED signed the pledge “Charter for Paris-aligned and high integrity use of carbon credits”. This initiative, led by the French Ministry for the Environment, Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forestry, Maritime Affairs, and Fisheries – Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Transition écologique, aims to turn carbon credits into a rigorous and credible tool in the fight for carbon neutrality.

An ambitious pledge for a more rigorous, inclusive and credible carbon market

The charter follows the agreement reached at COP29 in Baku, which aims to ensure the integrity of carbon credits. It seeks to build a more transparent and cooperative international carbon market by strengthening collaboration between states. As a reminder, carbon credits help fund tangible projects in developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or absorb CO₂.

The charter is built on two key commitments: adopting a validated and ambitious carbon neutrality strategy, and using only high-integrity carbon credits. These principles ensure that climate contributions support — rather than replace — real decarbonization efforts.

This initiative complements the measures already undertaken in France and across Europe to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

FDJ UNITED: concrete long-term mobilization for the climate

FDJ UNITED has been fully committed to concrete action against climate change for many years :

  • It has conducted an annual carbon footprint assessment for the past 18 years.
  • Its first decarbonization target (2017–2025), validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), was achieved ahead of schedule in 2022—now serving as the baseline year for its 2030 decarbonization roadmap.
  • In 2022, it reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70 % compared with 2017.
  • It has set a target to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25 % by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year.

Its top priority is reducing emissions while simultaneously taking action on carbon sequestration. At the same time, FDJ UNITED supports biodiversity, local communities, and the climate through a voluntary contribution plan financed by a portion of its net income.

These two challenges are inextricably linked—a core principle of the pledge. This is why FDJ UNITED treats its decarbonization efforts and biodiversity initiatives with equal importance, notably through the launch of the third edition of its Mission Nature game.
